pkgconf as System pkg-config Implementation
In Fedora 26, the pkg-config implementation has been switched to
pkgconf. This is a newer, actively-maintained implementation of pkg-config
that offers more advanced support for .pc
files and provides a library
interface for developers to integrate pkg-config processing into their
applications.
More information about pkgconf can be found at pkgconf.org.
Enable systemd-coredump by Default
By default, core dumps from crashing programs are now stored by
systemd-coredump, rather than created in the crashing process’s current
working directory by ABRT. They may be extracted using the coredumpctl
tool. For example, simply run coredumpctl gdb
to view a backtrace for
the most recent crash in gdb. For more information on this change, refer to
the manpages coredumpctl(1)
, systemd-coredump(8)
, and
coredump.conf(5)
.
